+	string "Path to modprobe binary"

+	help
+	  When kernel code requests a module, it does so by calling
+	  the "modprobe" userspace utility. This option allows you to
+	  set the path where that binary is found. This can be changed
+	  at runtime via the sysctl file
+	  /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. Setting this to the empty string
+	  removes the kernel's ability to request modules (but
+	  userspace can still load modules explicitly).
